Description: Book shows surprisingly light wear, Dust jacket shows heavy rubbing, with numerous chips and tears and much tape from attempted repairs. See photos. The Saco-Lowell shops were one of the biggest textile machine manufacturers in the United States. At its peak in the 1920s, the company had manufacturing facilities in Lowell and Newton, Massachusetts and Biddeford, Maine. Much of New England's industrial development has been based on the textile and the machine-building industries, and this story of New England machine-builders throws new light on a region whose industrial strengths and weaknesses are much in the news today. The history of the Saco-Lowell Shops illuminates early machine building practice and organization. It forms a significant part of the history of the American Industrial Revolution.
